KixNewbie2016 KixNewbie2016 Just in Town Registered: 2016-10-18 Posts: 3 Loc: Canada	Hi there, I wanted to check the Office 365 version by querying the registry. I created a very basic kix but seems not working. Did I miss anything? Please advise and thank you so much. $ver = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\Configuration","Platform") ? "The version is: $ver" and from the console, just got The version is: (nothing after:) Testing on Win7 and Win10 no luck. Running kix 4.61 Edited by KixNewbie2016 (2016-10-18 01:39 AM)

Remember that Kix is a 32-bit application and as such, can't directly see the 64-bit reg keys without some "magic". One way is to reference the "redirected" path - "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\microsoft\..." The other way is to turn off the automatic redirection with Code: $Rc = SetOption('WOW64AlternateRegView', 'Off') Either way, you'll see the paths you want. $\:\)$ Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

I've put your code into my test kix, but still show nothing :(, the key value is valid though. -------------------------- $Rc = SetOption('WOW64AlternateRegView', 'Off') $ver = ReadValue("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\Configuration\","Platform") ? "version is $ver"

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Sorry - Copy/Paste issue - set the alt reg view to "On". I don't have the same key, but when querying a similar path, I got null results with the setting "Off" but correct data with it "On". You might need to read the Release Notes to find the info on this setting. $;\)$ Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
